"This place is really well hidden. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, it would have taken me quite a bit of effort to find it!"
Gu Zheng walked in the dark passage and couldn't help but praise in his heart. At the same time, he controlled his body and carefully followed the team in front of him.
He followed the team of wandering souls all the way and watched them walk in. He also discovered Hei Tong's team. He had a way to make them disappear silently without arousing any suspicion.
But for him, this was a good opportunity to prove his identity.
On the way, he was still thinking about how to gain the trust of the wandering souls. If they could join forces, then the strength of Elder Gu's side would greatly increase. More importantly, with the help of the other party, they could also avoid the other party's pursuit in time.
Of course, there was also an advantage for the wandering souls. With Elder Gu's puppets that were not afraid of death, they could order them to cause more damage. They also didn't have to worry about their own safety. As long as they controlled them from afar, their safety would be greatly increased.
Both sides would benefit.
Although this was the case, the other party might not necessarily believe him. With the help of the ghost clan elder, it was really a timely help. As long as the other party's life was used as proof, the other party could at least have a good talk with him and have a preliminary basis for cooperation.
In fact, after seeing the ghost clan member, Gu Zheng was also stunned for a moment. Because the other party's appearance was exactly the same as Xiao Ying's grandfather after his transformation. The only difference was the color and pattern on his body. It seemed that at that time, he also had a story that he didn't tell him completely.
As the ground slanted downwards, it felt like it was at least a few hundred meters deep before it continued to extend upwards.
Although the passage wasn't big, Gu Zheng had to bend down to walk. But as it went up, it became more and more spacious. Gu Zheng could already feel the existence of the wandering souls above. It seemed that they were about to reach the end.
Bracing himself, Gu Zheng prepared to make a move at the right time. This way, the effect would be the best.
At this time, at the end of the passage, there was a very spacious cave. There were a few small paths that led there. But in front of them, there was a special transparent barrier that could clearly see the entrance of the valley in front of them.
It turned out that this place was the first mountain peak not far from the entrance. They actually opened up a place to hide people. All the actions of the ghost clan elder just now were in front of them.
And looking from the outside, they couldn't find anything strange about this place.
In this spacious space, many wandering souls had already gathered.
This was one of their important hiding spots. It was very secluded. Under such special circumstances, many people had gathered here.
"You're back? What about the water demons? You weren't discovered by the other party? "
The one overseeing this place was a beautiful young lady. Her body was covered in a layer of green vegetation from the waist down. Behind her head was a mutated Teng Yao Clan. They were good at healing, but their combat strength was relatively weak.
"The other party has already left. We didn't talk to the other party. Don't worry, we are already very careful. The other party definitely won't be able to find this place." The leading wandering soul took down the black shield on his back and placed it beside the wall.
"Hmm, that's good. I saw the elder of the Ghost Clan leave just now. Let's wait for a while, and we'll go through the alternate passageway. This little guy is actually so smart. If I hadn't acted fast enough to stop his aura from spreading, he would have already found us. Even so, this place isn't safe. Go and inform everyone to gather here," the beautiful girl said to him.
. In front of her, there was an emerald green branch floating in the air. Above the branch, layers of green leaves wrapped around a transparent ball. One could vaguely see the little ghost clan descendant inside.
As long as they didn't let it out, it would remain in this state. There was no need to worry about its growth.
After waiting for a while, nearly a hundred stray souls walked out from various places. Even the space seemed a little cramped.
"Fei Yi, open the passage. We'll leave here now." The beautiful girl waved her hand and the ball in front of her was automatically sent to her hand by the branch. At the same time, she said to the first wandering soul.
"Okay, you guys step back a little."
Fei walked in the middle of the cave and said to the people next to him. Seeing that the surroundings automatically made space for them, he rubbed his hands and jumped up. He directly inserted his hand into the rock at the top and then pulled down fiercely. A huge rock at the top, which was at least one zhang long, was actually pulled out by him. Once again, it revealed a passageway that was about the width of a person. It was somewhat curved and led to other places.
"Everyone quickly leave this place and gather at the second location." The girl clapped her hands and immediately commanded.
Fei Yi picked up his black shield and shrunk it to half its original size. He hung it on his arm and prepared to take the lead to ascend.
However, just as his figure was about to enter the passageway, a black light suddenly flashed on the surface of the passageway. Like a layer of bright water ripples, it completely sealed the passageway.
"What's going on?" Fei Yi was caught off guard and his head bumped into it. He fell down dizzily.
"Don't even think about escaping."
A gloomy voice suddenly rose in the air. Like a cold wind, it hung over everyone's body. It made their hearts feel like they were falling into an abyss.
At the entrance that was originally sealed, a familiar figure was already standing there. In the other passageways, layers of water ripples also appeared, completely blocking all the wandering souls in this space.
As the Ghost Clan Elder walked in, the Ghost Clan behind him actually stood at the entrance and stared covetously at these wandering souls. Even if there were dozens of times more of them, in their view, the other party was doomed. This was because their Elder could deal with them alone.
"There are really quite a lot of people. What a great harvest. I presume that after killing all of you, the wandering souls will also lose a lot." The Elder walked in with a murderous look on his face. He looked around and those wandering souls were forced back by the aura on his body. Finally, his gaze stopped at the ball in the girl's hand. Only then did he speak with a gloomy voice.
"How did you find this place!" The girl's face changed a few times. She said with some disbelief.
She did not have the confidence to hide this place from the other party. However, it was not easy for the other party to find this place either.
At this time, they had so many wandering souls. Under the pressure of the Ghost Clan Elder, they did not dare to step forward. The other party's name was indeed a little scary. However, with the oppression of strength, in such a narrow space, they simply had no way out.
"It's all thanks to your people leading the way. Otherwise, you really could have successfully left this place." The Ghost Clan Elder glanced at Fei Yi and then slowly said.
As his voice fell, the wandering souls were in an uproar. Unfriendly gazes were directed at Fei Yi, causing the latter to directly curse out in anger.
"Bullshit, don't frame me. Don't everyone know what kind of person I am? I would never do anything to let everyone down. After so many years, who would be so stupid as to surrender to the other party? "
"I believe him. Everyone, don't fall into the other party's trap." The girl at the side also hurriedly said. At this time, they could not cause internal strife.
"Do I have to go that far? Give it to me! " The Elder was waiting for this moment. Taking advantage of the girl's distraction, he grabbed the air towards the girl's hand.
A huge force came from the girl's hand. The ball that was not caught by her instantly flew out and out of her control.
"Don't even think about it!"
The girl's reaction was extremely fast. She had her leaves on it, and with a thought, the emerald green leaves instantly turned pitch-black. Strands of hair-like roots directly penetrated the ball outside and quickly probed inside, wanting to use the inside as nourishment to absorb.
"You dare!"
Seeing this, the Ghost Clan Elder angrily shouted. His voice reverberated throughout the entire cave. The girl's mind was slightly dizzy. When she came back to her senses, the ball had already landed in the Ghost Clan Elder's hand. The leaves on it had already been destroyed by the other party, and it slowly fell down.
"Fortunately, fortunately!"
The Elder looked. Although the protection outside had been broken, the descendant inside had already completed the basic evolution. More importantly, because of his quick arrival, the other party did not have the chance to destroy it.
In other words, this descendant had not been contaminated. This was a blessing in disguise. This made his bad mood for many days better.
At this time, Fei Yi had already grabbed the shield in his hand again. Together with the other wandering souls, while the Elder was checking the ball, they attacked the other party.
They did not have extravagant hopes of injuring the other party. They only wanted to force the other party to leave his position and allow some of them to escape through this entrance.
Now, other than this entrance, the other places had been sealed. With their cultivation, they could not break through in a short period of time. They could not even try to find this passage.
When Fei Yi and the others were in the air, black roots appeared in the air and stabbed towards the Ghost Clan Elder.
"A small trick, and I'll send you on your way!"
The Ghost Clan Elder looked at the other party's aggressive attacks. It was as if he was fighting with his back against the wall. He did not care at all. The difference between the two of them was too big. Even if he stood still, the other party could not hurt him.
He raised his other hand. A layer of cold black flames emerged from the other party's hand. Even the surrounding temperature dropped. The hundreds of wandering souls on the other side felt as if their bodies were frozen, unable to move.
Fei Yi also felt that his body was out of control. His entire body was like a hard block of ice. He began to fall to the other side. Even if he desperately wanted to control his body, he could only watch as his companions fell.
Those crisscrossing roots immediately lost control. Unable to withstand the pressure, they shattered into pieces.
With a simple action, the Ghost Clan Elder neutralized their desperate attacks. This made the eyes of those who had no hope to begin with despair.
"Go to hell!"
The Ghost Clan Elder raised his hand. The egg-sized black flames expanded several times. He was prepared to throw it forward to completely get rid of these disgusting bastards.
At this moment, a breeze appeared out of nowhere. It carelessly brushed past the black flames in the Ghost Clan Elder's hand. The black flames that were just about to take off dissipated instantly.
The Ghost Clan Elder still had a determined look on his face. He waved his hand and felt that his hand was empty. Only then did he realize that the black flames in his hand had disappeared.
With the disappearance of the black flames, the other wandering souls also felt that the surrounding coldness had dissipated and returned to normal.
Compared to the other wandering souls who were shocked, Fei Yi was the first to adjust. He twisted his body in the air and charged forward again.
When the Ghost Clan Elder saw Fei Yi, who was close to him, he subconsciously condensed another black flame. He directly slammed it towards the shield that Fei Yi was charging at him. If it hit the shield, even the person on the shield would turn into a ball of illusion.
"Fei Yi, be careful!"
When the young girl saw this scene, she immediately cried out in alarm and warned him.
Although Fei Yi could not see in front of him, how could he not know what he was about to face? He forcefully gathered all the strength in his body to block his black shield. Without hesitation, he launched a suicidal attack at the Ghost Clan Elder.
The Ghost Clan elites behind the Ghost Clan Elder also looked at this fellow who had walked right into their trap with ridicule. It was just a matter of time before he died.
However, at this crucial moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind and slammed a palm onto the Ghost Clan Elder's back. At the same time, a wind blade appeared and struck the Ghost Clan Elder's arm.
The Ghost Clan Elder did not expect that someone would sneak attack him from behind. He was completely unprepared. With a wave of his hand, the black flames left his hand and blasted towards the wall beside him. As the entire cave shook, a hole that was dozens of meters wide appeared on the side.
The Ghost Clan Elder's body trembled as a black shield suddenly appeared in front of him. The massive force instantly forced him back a few steps, and the black hat on his head was also sent flying, revealing his pale face.
Fei Yi did not expect that he would be able to attack his opponent, and he stood there in a daze. He looked at the Ghost Clan Elder in front of him grabbing at him, and before he could react, a wave of energy appeared and dragged him away.
The instant he left, three black claw shadows suddenly appeared in the air, causing Fei Yi's heart to tighten. He had almost been dismembered.
However, only then did he notice that there was an unfamiliar man standing next to him, playing with a round ball.
The Ghost Clan Elder also noticed that his descendant had disappeared, but he did not act rashly. After putting his black hat on his head, he only revealed half of his chin as he questioned the other party.
"Who are you? Why are you helping these wandering souls? Please give me the spoils of my clansmen. "
Even the group behind him became cautious, and they all looked at the man, sizing him up.
As long as he could completely transform into a human body, he would at least be at Grand Luo Realm. Below that, there would be clear signs, and it would be very easy to distinguish him.
"Just call me Gu Zheng. As for my origins, I'm sorry, I can't tell you!"
Seeing the Ghost Clan Elder who was hesitant to attack, his eyes were fixed on the round ball in his hand. He was very concerned about their descendant, so he spoke casually.
"Don't you know that this is our own matter? No matter where you're from, if you leave now, I can pretend that I didn't notice. Otherwise, you and the others behind you will suffer."
Seeing Gu Zheng's appearance, the Ghost Clan Elder immediately determined that he was not from Fiend Soul's side. No matter which Soul Race it was, they would not dare to interfere with their matters, let alone attack him. It could only be said that he was from both sides, so he threatened him.
Indeed, such a threat was very intimidating to anyone else. The Ghost Clan Elder was certain that the other party was from Soul Alliance. Who knew why he would appear here? What was he up to?
"Did we invite him?"
Fang Feiyi had already retreated and asked the young girl in shock.
No one would believe that there was no connection between Wild Soul, Lonely City, and Soul Alliance, even though he had just asked.
"No, he's in a mess right now and doesn't have the time to come here to help. Moreover, the timing isn't right. He seems to have been here all along," said the young girl doubtfully.
Although she felt that the other party was trying to hide his strength, she discovered that there was nothing worth it for the other party to do so. Even if they were captured, due to their special nature, they would not be able to obtain the information in their minds. This was the reason why the Ghost Clan Elder wanted to kill them.
Just as they were whispering, the Ghost Clan Elder and Gu Zheng's discussion had already broken down. After all, Gu Zheng wanted to use the Ghost Clan Elder as his sincerity. With just a few words, he provoked the Ghost Clan Elder's anger. He directly charged towards Gu Zheng without any hesitation.
Along the way, the sharp claws in front of his palm extended out again. They flashed with a black light in the air. There was no doubt about their sharpness as they grabbed towards Gu Zheng's chest.
To the Ghost Clan, the sharp claws in their hands were their strongest weapons.
From the strength just now, he knew that the Ghost Clan Elder's cultivation was the same as his. What made him confident was that the Ghost Clan Elder didn't seem to be carrying any weapons against them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have only suffered light injuries from the sneak attack just now. This made him very confident that he could defeat the Ghost Clan Elder and even kill him.
After all, only they could create soul tools that could harm them. Although some of them had leaked out, the Ghost Clan Elder clearly didn't have any on him.
"Just in time."
The corner of Gu Zheng's mouth raised slightly. How could he not know what the Ghost Clan Elder was thinking? Unfortunately, he had his own methods.
He stood in place and extended his hand. A layer of extreme black light covered his palm. He seemed to be careless as he grabbed towards the Ghost Clan Elder, wanting to stop him.
"Since you're so confident, I'll let you pay the price for your carelessness."
The Ghost Clan Elder suddenly pointed with his other hand. Streams of black gas instantly emerged from his hand and formed a dozen black streams in the air. They transformed into spears in the air and scattered in the air. They flew towards Gu Zheng in a disorderly manner. It was impossible to determine the trajectory of the black spears, but it just happened to perfectly seal off the space that the Ghost Clan Elder could dodge.
His figure suddenly flashed in the air and drew an arc in an instant. He quickly circled around from the side and arrived behind Gu Zheng like a ghost. Seeing that the Ghost Clan Elder hadn't reacted yet, he didn't hold back and stabbed towards his back.
In such a narrow space, the Ghost Clan's fighting strength could be maximized.
"Pfff!"
The Ghost Clan Elder's sharp claws directly and smoothly pierced into Gu Zheng's body. However, he was stopped by a huge force after just a little bit. That feeling immediately made him feel a little different. In an instant, countless questions appeared in his mind. Why was there a soft and sweet aura? And there was scarlet blood in his hand. This seemed to be a body that only existed in the human world above.
"Then it's my turn!"
Gu Zheng ignored the pain on the surface. He used a bit of strength to make the Ghost Clan Elder's sharp claws bounce off the surface of his body. He quickly turned around and grabbed the Ghost Clan Elder's body. Then he used a bit of strength and the two of them directly crashed into the transparent barrier.
"Crash!"
Along with a crisp sound, Gu Zheng and the Ghost Clan Elder who was forced to grab onto him fell into the baleful wind outside.
But after going out, Gu Zheng conveniently patched up the hole that he made to prevent the baleful wind from blowing in.
